There must be something in the water there to drive all these people mad! Well, one would assume we're all mad on this board.

rjdey, there is certainly ""something"" in the water in NJ, no question. In fact, I would say there are many ""somethings"" in the water that are driving us mad here! Yet I'm told our state still rates as one of the highest in terms of drinking water quality. "

Like what? What would you like me to post? Like the fact that I have a drawer full of ESRI tee shirts, 4 ESRI mousepads, countless pins and other ESRI accessories? (Actually, Mike, I don't have an ESRI coffee mug yet, so if you'd like to send me one, that'd be nice!) "

Thats crazy!

I grew up in Marlton NJ, but now live in North California. Go Cherokee Chiefs!

One
point about NJ water is that most of the domestic water comes from
groundwater aquifers, not rivers. The largest, and still unspoiled,
aquifer is the Cohansey aquifer underlying the NJ Pine Barrens (or
Pinelands). The Cogansey aquifer contains an estimated 17 trillion
gallons of freshwater!! And it tastes good too.

Yeehaw pine barrens! I went to high school at Southern Regional (Manahawkin), right on top of the pine barrens... one cool fact about the pine barrens most people don't know is that there is one flower species which is unique throughout the world, which only flowers there once a year. From what I remember, it's a pretty stinky-smelling flower too.

Oh, and I believe it is a unique ecosystem as well.

Hm... my point in responding though, was to say... does that aquifer have anything to do with the fact that 1/2 of Jersey (the south I think, thus the pine barrens) was previously underwater... at some point in history... can't remember how far back. "
